Bill > H6013

This bill repeals two specific parts of Florida Statutes in Chapter 760: Part IV (section 760.80) related to minority representation on boards, commissions, councils, and committees, and Part V (section 760.854) related to the Center for Environmental Equity and Justice. The bill also makes a technical amendment to section 1001.216, which governs the Council on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys, by removing a cross-reference to the definition of "African American" from the now-repealed statute. Specifically, the bill eliminates the reference to how "African American" was previously defined in section 760.80(2)(a). The changes will take effect on July 1, 2026, suggesting a deliberate and delayed implementation of these statutory removals. The bill appears to be part of a broader effort to modify existing legal provisions related to equity and representation.
